“Under Thy paternal gaze, O Lord,
and with confidence in Thy Providence
and in the loving patronage of Jesus,
Mary and Joseph, the family will become
a sanctuary of virtue
and a school of wisdom.”

Excerpt from Pope Pius XII’s
Prayer for Christian Families

"The entire educational process must be carried out with love, which is perceptible in every disciplinary measure and which does not instill any fear. And the most effective educational method is not the word of instruction but the living example without which all words remain useless."

- Edith Stein
